Statistical Data of the 

Jewish Religious Schools of Philadelphia 

FOR 1906-1907. 



One of the important objects of Gratz College is the fitting of its 
students for the position of teachers in Jewish religious schools. It is ac- 
cordingly within the purview of the College to encourage the collection of 
information relating to the Jewish religious schools in this country, and it 
seemed that the most appropriate method of stimulating such an inquiry was 
to collect, as far as possible, the statistics relating to such schools in Philadel- 
phia. 

There have been included within the inquiries all schools where Jewish 
children are taught Hebrew, Jewish history and Jewish religious institutions. 
No attempt was made to obtain data from teachers who have no established 
schools, and impart instruction to their pupils at their homes. The data ob- 
tained from private schools are rather meagre and inadequate, many not hav- 
ing replied to the inquiries sent, whilst others could not be reached at all, so 
that the information presented in the accompanying tables lacks completeness 
and accuracy. As a first attempt, however, such deficiencies must be ex- 
pected, and it is hoped that even in its present state, the information will be 
of value and interest, and will lead to similar inquiries in other cities. 

DIVISION OF SCHOOLS. 

For the sake of convenience the thirty-nine schools which replied to the 
queries propounded are divided into the following seven groups: 

1. Congregational Schools (5). 

2. Hebrew Sunday School Society Schools (8). 

3. Hebrew Education Society Schools (4). 

4. Orphan Asylums (2). 

5. Talmud Torahs (4). 

6. Other Schools managed by Societies (4). 

7. Private Schools (Hadarim) (12). 

Numbers 1, 4 and 6 stand by themselves, while number 2 is in a 
measure a complement to Nos. 3, 5 and 7, that is to say, the children attend- 
ing schools under i, 4 and 6 probably receive no other religious instruction, 
while many of the children attending the Hebrew Sunday School Society 



schools probably also attend schools of groups 3, 5 and 7. This is an im- 
portant point to consider in considering these tables, as will be shown under 
the headings of "Pupils" and "Subjects of Instruction." 

The five congregational schools are maintained by congregations whose 
members are more or less of the older Jewish settlers. The numerous con- 
gregations in the southern portion of the city as well as those which are con- 
stantly being established in the northeastern section, whose members are 
more recent immigrants, do not deem it necessary to combine the religious in- 
struction of their children with the synagogue. The children of the mem- 
bers of these congregations constitute the main contingent of all the other 
schools. 

The Hebrew Sunday School Society has its eight schools in various por- 
tions of the city. It is one of the oldest Jewish organizations in the city, and 
still is alive to the changed conditions and the requirements of the time. 
Within the last few years, the number of its schools was doubled as the in- 
creased population demanded. 

The Hebrew Education Society conducts four schools where Hebrew 
forms the main subject of instruction. The sessions are held four times a 
week. Within the past year a new school was established by the Society at 
the Zion Institute, thus increasing the usefulness of its work. 

There are three Talmud Torahs and one Yeshibah. In these, also, 
Hebrew is the main subject of instruction. The Talmud Torahs are more 
elementary in character, while in the Yeshibah, Bible and Talmud are taught 
to grown boys. The Northeastern Talmud To rah has just moved to a new 
home of its own and expects to extend its work greatly during the coming 
season. 

During the past few years a laudable movement was inaugurated by 
some Jews living in the northwestern section of the city to establish a Jewish 
religious school in that neighborhood. The remarkable success of this school 
gave an impetus to Jews living in other parts of the city, removed from any 
synagogue, to do likewise. A number of schools of that kind was estab- 
lished during this year and others are now in the process of organization. 
These schools are independent of any synagogue, although they may, in the 
course of time, be the means of the organization of new synagogues. 

The number of Hadarim or private schools is very large and it is to be 
regretted a larger proportion of these could not be reached. They hold ses- 
sions daily and Hebrew is the main subject of instruction. The Heder is, 
however, falling into desuetude and the itinerant or visiting teacher is con- 
stantly taking its place. This is due to the fact that parents who do not care 
about the study of Hebrew, still wish their children to be able to recite the 
blessing over the Torah, or perhaps read a few verses therefrom when they 
reach the age of Bar Mitzvah. When the boy reaches the age of twelve the 
mother or the father begins to look around for a teacher. The boy could 
then learn very little in a Heder and private, individual instruction becomes 
necessary. Thus a teacher is engaged to visit the boy at his home and teach 
him just as much as is necessary to know for "Bar Mitzvah" ; i. e. the recital 
of the Berachah, Maftir and perhaps, also, the Haftarah, and an address in 
Yiddish or English. Even those teachers who have established schools spend 
their evening hours in giving lessons to prospective Bar Mitzvah boys, while 



a large number of young men support themselves from the income derived 
from such instruction. It should be added that quite a number of parents 
engage private tutors for their children with the sole purpose of having 
them taught Hebrew, the Bible and also the Talmud. 

The schools conducted by the Orphan Asylum form a class by themselves, 
since they are only for the inmates of these homes. 

PUPILS. 

Regarding the data in Table I, we must first take into consideration the 
fact that there are quite a number of duplicate students. Many of the chil- 
dren that attend the Hebrew Sunday School Society schools, especially the 
boys, are probably included in the number of pupils in the Talmud Torahs, 
the Hebrew Education Society schools, and the private schools, where they 
obtain their Hebrew instruction. Some children attend one school of the 
Hebrew Sunday- School Society on Sunday morning and another in the after- 
noon. We shall therefore have to make quite a considerable deduction from 
the total number of children as given in this table. 

While in the congregational schools the proportion of girls and boys is 
about even, five-eights of the total enrollment in the schools of the Hebrew 
Sunday School Society are girls, while in the Hebrew Education Society 
schools, the number of girls is more than double the number of boys. On the 
other hand, in the Talmud Torahs and in the private schools, girls form but 
a very small proportion. In "Other Schools" the proportion of girls and 
boys is about even. 

The proportion of the average attendance to the number of pupils en- 
rolled is fair in all the schools. In those of the Hebrew Sunday School So- 
ciety where the average attendance is apparently less than one-half of the 
pupils enrolled, the average attendance during the regular sessions, from 
September to June, nearly reaches the standard of the other schools. 

The average age of pupils entering the various schools is six, and of 
graduation or confirmation is fifteen. In the Talmud Torahs and private 
schools the pupils usually leave the schools at the age of 13, i. e. after a boy 
has passed the age of Bar Mitzvah his Hebrew education comes to a close, 
since there is no formal graduation in these schools. Some of the congre- 
gational schools as well as the schools of the Hebrew Sunday School Society 
maintain post-graduate or post-confirmation classes, and also Alumni or- 
ganizations. 

TEACHERS. 

The inadequate means at the disposal of Jewish Religious Schools ne- 
cessitates, in most cases, the employment of volunteer teachers. This is a 
system which grew up because of lack of funds, and while useful results 
have been obtained, it has disadvantages too apparent to require enumeration. 
It has also had the effect of discouraging able men and women from taking 
up the work of teaching in religious schools as a profession. It is gratifying 
to notice that the congregations are beginning to realize their duty to educa- 
tion, and considerable sums are set aside annually to be expended in the 
general management of the school. Of the 47 teachers employed in the five 
congregational schools of this city, 38 receive remuneration for their work. 



In the Hebrew Education Society schools, in the Talmud Torahs and in the 
private schools, where instruction is given daily, all the teachers receive 
salaries. In the Hebrew Sunday School Society schools, few teachers are 
paid, which is also true in the case of the schools styled in the Table as 
"Other Schools." 

SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION AND MEETINGS. 

The Hebrew Sunday School Society schools, which meet only once a 
week, on Sundays, include in their curriculum only Bible History and Re- 
ligion. In the Talmud Torahs, the private schools and the schools of the 
Hebrew Education Society, Hebrew is the main subject of instruction and 
Bible History and Religion are only incidentally taught. These have ses- 
sions three or four times a week. In some of the congregational schools, 
additional sessions, besides the Sunday session, are held, mainly for the pur- 
pose of teaching Hebrew. The study of Hebrew is being introduced little 
by little, also in the schools managed by private organizations, and it may 
be hoped that after these are better equipped, special sessions will be devoted 
to the study of Hebrew. The study of Hebrew is made compulsory in most 
schools where Hebrew is taught. 

The language employed in most of the schools is English, although in 
some of the Talmud Torah§ and private schools, Yiddish is still the language 
in which instruction is imparted. 

INTERNAL ORGANIZATION OF SCHOOLS 

Generally the number of children In the lower grades is larger than in 
the upper grades. Exact data about the number of children in each class were 
not given by most schools. It will be noticed that in the Talmud Torahs 
especially, the average number of children in each class is very large, contrary 
to the Talmudic precept that there should be no more than twenty-five chil- 
dren under the care of one teacher. This may be due either to the scarcity 
of teachers or to the lack of room. 

The separation of classes in separate rooms should be considered es- 
sential, and still in many schools various classes meet in one room. This is 
unfortunate both because the discipline cannot be maintained and dis- 
turbances must occur. 

Almost all the schools have a School Board or Committee whose duty 
it is to arrange the curriculum and have general supervision of the school. 
In the congregational schools the Rabbi either acts as superintendent of the 
school or assists the superintendent with his counsel and co-operation. 

All the congregational schools have libraries as adjuncts to the school. 
In these, Jewish books form but a small proportion and are probably little in 
demand by the children. In the other schools, with the exception of the 
schools of the Hebrew Sunday School Society and the Jewish Foster Home 
there are no libraries. 

The Hebrew Education Society allows the use of its circulating library 
at Touro Hall to the children attending its schools.

The small proportion of the average attendance to the total enrollment in this 
case is due to the fact that the attendance during the summer months, which is very 
small, is included in making up the average.
